1st place

Everett competed in his first pinewood derby...and he followed in his dad's footsteps and won first place! I guess it is family tradition to win. Chris' dad handed down all the research and materials to make a winning car. Chris had Everett draw up his car, mark it on the wood, Chris cut it out, Everett sanded, painted, sanded, painted and Chris put the wheels on. I think he let him do a little bit more than his dad let him do as a kid.

His first race down the track he won, the car next to him came in a hit his, busting his front wheel right off. We were all a little worried he wouldn't be able to race, but the judges let him hot glue it back together, weigh it in and race. He raced something like 12 times and won EVERY single race. I was a bit shocked. Chris was too, he kept saying there are a lot of engineer dad's in our area that could make some sweet cars. And they did, but I think Grandpa T's magic dust made for another winning car. It was fun to watch. It was good to see Everett win. I was proud of my boys:)
